Certain applications, such as peer-to-peer file sharing, large file downloads and news groups, which use up lots of bandwidth and can have a negative impact on other customers, may operate slower at peak times. Our network’s busiest times are between 4 and 11pm on week days and all day at weekends, but it can be busy at others times as well – depending on the demands on the network. We monitor customers who use the most bandwidth and whose usage has a negative effect on others. Customers who download large amounts at peak times regularly will have restrictions place on their accounts to reduce their download speeds at peak times. Only a few customers will be affected by this: fewer than 5%. We remove these restrictions when the network is not busy.
